Coloured loops in 4D and their effective field representation

Gaining insight about ensembles of magnetic configurations, that could originate the confining string tension between quarks, constitutes a major concern in current lattice investigations. This interest also applies to a different approach, where gauge models with spontaneous symmetry breaking are constructed to describe the confining string as a smooth vortex solution. In this article, we initially show how to incorporate non Abelian information into an ensemble of monopoles in $4D$, characterized by phenomenological parameters. Next, using some recent techniques developed for polymers, we were able to relate the coloured ensemble with a non Abelian gauge model. This could offer an interesting perspective to discuss some of the different approaches to describe confinement.

Derivation of an Abelian effective model for instanton chains in 3D Yang-Mills theory

In this work, we derive a recently proposed Abelian model to describe the interaction of correlated monopoles, center vortices, and dual fields in three dimensional SU(2) Yang-Mills theory. Following recent polymer techniques, special care is taken to obtain the end-to-end probability for a single interacting center vortex, which constitutes a key ingredient to represent the ensemble integration.
